Featured Work: Art House Reimagined
One example of CarbonShack Design's capabilities is the Art House Reimagined project, located in Marina del Rey, California. Originally built in 1992, this townhome spans three floors and includes a rooftop deck with views of the adjacent coastline. The project also incorporates a world-class art collection into its design, reflecting the team's ability to work within complex, high-end residential environments.
This project illustrates the kind of thoughtful, detail-oriented work that CarbonShack Design brings to residential projects, including those involving granny flat additions, in-law suite designs, or other forms of accessory dwelling units.
